Chapter 1722: Suppressing the Immortal Hall

The Supreme Being arrived, yet Huang blocked him, causing the elder from the Immortal Palace to cough blood and be sent flying, shocking all the sects.

The Immortal Palace, a behemoth that has ruled supreme since ancient times, has never declined, standing tall and overlooking the three thousand provinces.

Especially when rumors spread that a remnant immortal resided there—who wouldn’t fear it? Even the eternal dynasties of the Nine Heavens dared not provoke them.

But today, at this very moment, a young man stepped forward without hesitation, engaging in a life-and-death battle with the Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace—yet he held his ground.

The elder from the Immortal Palace revealed his true form as the mist dispersed. His hair was snow-white, his face unnaturally flushed, blood staining his lips, his gaze icy.

The earlier clash had churned his qi and blood, and even his indestructible bones crackled under the strain, nearly shattering.

“Which fellow Daoist dares to challenge me? Step forward and fight!” the elder said coldly, scanning his surroundings.

In the shadows, two Supreme Beings targeted him, filling his eyes with a chilling murderous intent. In this era, the remnant immortals reigned supreme—who dared defy them? Did anyone still dare provoke the Immortal Palace’s authority?

Yet no response came. The two Supreme Beings remained hidden.

“Old fool, are you spent?” Shi Hao taunted, his tone mocking as he provoked the elder.

“Hah! In the era when I reigned supreme, your ancestors were still crawling in the dirt!” the elder sneered in response.

“Careful, lest the wind blows your tongue away. Even if a remnant immortal emerged, they wouldn’t dare claim to be older or more ancient than the Shi Clan!” Shi Hao retorted.

The elder’s expression froze. Indeed, the Shi Clan was unique—a lineage stretching back to the previous epoch, with origins beyond ordinary comprehension.

A pity that this clan had perished at the frontier. Otherwise, how could the eternal families exclude them? They were once a race of kings!

“Blame your ancestors for their foolishness—they brought ruin upon themselves!” the elder laughed coldly, his voice dripping with mockery.

**Boom!**

Beyond the heavens, Shi Hao brandished a great banner, charging forward with fury in his eyes, his hair whipping wildly. He was truly enraged.

The Shi Clan had fought valiantly at the frontier, achieving glorious feats, only to be unjustly treated—reduced to the most tragic lineage!

The Immortal Palace was behind this injustice, closely tied to the remnant immortal, forcing the Shi Clan to endure humiliation and grief for ages.

And now, the elder dared to speak so callously, fueling Shi Hao’s boundless killing intent.

“Old bastard! When the foreign realm invaded during the frontier war, where were you? Hiding in the rear, too cowardly to fight! And now you dare speak of the past? What right do you have to insult my ancestors? Compared to them, your Immortal Palace is nothing but a den of cowards—only bold when the battle is over, bullying the weak! A sect like yours is a disgrace to the three thousand provinces!”

Shi Hao’s roar shook the heavens as his banner flapped violently, stirring a tempest that lifted stars from the sky, making the constellations tremble.

**Pop! Pop!**

Some stars cracked and exploded under the terrifying force.

**Clang!**

The Bronze Immortal Palace glowed, intercepting the Blood-Iron Banner. Between them, immortal mist surged, divine light erupted in endless waves, as if an eternal sea had boiled over!

Immortal artifacts clashed, Supreme Beings fought—this battle was perilous beyond measure.

Shi Hao was in grave danger. After all, his opponent was a Supreme Being, while he was only at the Dunyi realm.

To challenge a higher realm now was impossible!

The Supreme Being realm was a mysterious and unfathomable domain, the pinnacle of the mortal path—only those who reached it could touch the threshold of immortality.

Across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, throughout history, how many Supreme Beings existed? Each was a peerless genius of their era, the protagonists of their age!

If such figures could be slain by those beneath them, how could they be called Supreme?

Thus, when the elder summoned the Bronze Palace, Shi Hao’s situation turned dire—his life hung by a thread.

“Brat, prepare to die!” the elder roared, using the palace to block the banner as boundless immortal light surged between them like a roaring ocean.

He then reached out with a massive hand, seizing toward Shi Hao with a vicious grin.

He had noticed that the two hidden Supreme Beings hesitated, wary of the remnant immortal’s awakening. Even the Five Elements Mountain of the Qin Clan, after a violent tremor, had fallen silent.

He knew—the remnant immortal at the Immortal Palace’s foundation must have exerted its will, intimidating them.

Indeed, just moments ago, a faint ripple had spread across the world, startling many powerhouses—it was the remnant immortal’s consciousness stirring!

Perhaps that slumbering existence would emerge!

Just as the battle reached its climax and Shi Hao’s situation grew desperate, the heavens trembled violently. The elder coughed blood, his hair standing on end in terror.

The two hidden Supreme Beings had struck again—this time with lethal intent!

Were they seeking his life?

**Boom!**

Two streaks of light, wreathed in immortal qi and auspicious radiance, slashed toward him—inescapable, deadly.

At the same time, the Five Elements Mountain from the depths of the Qin Clan rose, floating into the heavens with overwhelming pressure, ready to suppress him.

This was no ordinary immortal artifact—a figure emerged atop it, a being preparing to descend!

Meanwhile, Shi Hao’s banner coiled around the Bronze Palace, while his other hand raised the dazzling Great Luo Sword, slashing forward.

“You dare?!” the elder screamed, his face twisting in shock. He had assumed the two Supreme Beings and the Qin Clan feared the remnant immortal—yet this was merely the calm before the storm!

**Bang!**

The assault came too fast. Despite his evasion, he was struck by the two Supreme Beings’ divine techniques, blood gushing from his body as the shockwaves ravaged the stars beyond.

The greatest threat, however, was the Five Elements Mountain—like an unsealed true immortal, it descended upon him with terrifying force.

**Boom!**

At the critical moment, he dodged the mountain but was ensnared by the Supreme Beings’ arts, his body convulsing, blood spraying as countless stars were obliterated.

**Swoosh!**

He lunged toward the Bronze Palace, seeking refuge within.

“Old fool, trying to hide in your turtle shell?” Shi Hao sneered, shaking the banner to block his path as it coiled around the palace.

**Boom!**

The Bronze Palace trembled, its entrance revealed. The elder, silent, rushed inside.

**Clang!**

But then, the Five Elements Mountain shone, firing five immortal rays that shook the palace violently. The elder inside convulsed, cracks spreading across his body as he vomited blood.

**Swoosh!**

At the same time, Shi Hao’s Great Luo Sword—previously overlooked—flared brilliantly, its blade-light piercing the elder’s defenses and impaling him.

“You… you all!” he snarled, whirling to glare at Shi Hao. He knew the two Supreme Beings had empowered the sword, grievously wounding him—his foundation was damaged.

But it wasn’t over.

A bone-chilling killing intent surged.

**Roar!**

The elder bellowed, his body erupting with burning runes as he struggled to evade death.

The lingering power of the Supreme Beings’ techniques, like maggots in his flesh, erupted anew—transforming into divine swords aimed at bisecting him.

**Splat!**

In an instant, he sacrificed his arms, letting them shatter into bloody mist to protect his vitals.

Like a lizard shedding its tail, he survived—but for a Supreme Being, this was an unbearable humiliation.

**Clang!**

The Bronze Palace’s doors sealed shut, cutting off all outside sight.

The elder raged within. A Supreme Being, subjected to such disgrace—how could he endure it?

“Ancestor, if you can, awaken!” he murmured, chanting an ancient scripture to summon the power of the Immortal Palace’s foundation.

There, the remnant immortal slumbered—but its will was awake, sensing all. The earlier decree had come from it.

**Thud!**

A sound like an immortal drum echoed across the three thousand provinces, as if a divine court had emerged, accompanied by the roars of countless celestial soldiers.

In an instant, from a distant land, immortal light surged, auspicious rays flooding the heavens as an immortal aura engulfed the world.

“The remnant immortal… has emerged!”

Even sect masters trembled, their voices shaking with fear.
